Domaine Bellavista - Rivesaltes Ambré 1993
3*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
89/100
A. Larsson
"Finesse, elegance, smoothness. Balance, aromatic intensity with notes of dried fruit, gingerbread, red apricot, tender sweetness balanced with restrained acidity, rancio finish... Pure pleasure, after a most promising start with notes of dried apricot, leather, toast, and above all rancio, with a hint of walnut." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015)

Eye
Golden brown color, edged with olive hues, cloudy. As the wine is unfiltered, cloudiness or a slight deposit are natural.
Nose
Intense and complex, it develops surprising aromas of candied fruit and nuts, underscored by a hint of rancio.
Mouth
Rich and generous, well-balanced, the finish lingers on the notes of the nose.

About wine:
Refinement, elegance, smoothness. Balance, aromatic intensity with notes of dried fruit, gingerbread, red apricot, tender sweetness balanced with restrained acidity, rancio finish... Pure pleasure, after a most promising start with notes of dried apricot, leather, toast, and above all rancio, with walnut kernels.
About the estate:
Acquired in 1992 by the Bertrand family, this 50-hectare estate, nestled in the hills of Castelnou, proudly displays its superb, well-restored 13th-century buildings. The vineyard has been certified organic since 2013.
